Formation of ecological culture of future teachers of geography on educational practice in geology

The decisive factor in the implementation of large-scale environmental education and upbringing is the training of teachers of secondary schools - carriers of environmental culture, who pass this culture to their wards. Therefore, one of the most important problems is the problem of forming the ecological culture of future teachers as their general ecological and moral culture and the conditions of high pedagogical qualification.

There are the following pedagogical conditions that increase the effectiveness of the formation of environmental culture of future teachers of geography:

• use of techniques and technology development;


• studying the possibilities of professional disciplines;


• organization of educational and research activities;


• conducting field training [7].

Educational field practices in geographical disciplines are the most effective means of forming ecological culture, because in these conditions students are directly engaged in ecological and practical activities: conduct observations, assessment and other research activities in the natural environment, acquire the ability to study natural complexes and its components [1-4].

The main didactic task of educational practice is to consolidate the theoretical knowledge obtained in lectures and practical classes and in still skills in field research [9]. The «Regulations on the practice of students of higher

educational institutions of Ukraine» notes that «the purpose of the practice is to master students' modern methods, forms of organization and tools in the field of their future profession, their formation, based on knowledge obtained in higher education, professional skills and skills for making independent decisions during specific work in real market and production conditions, educating the need to systematically update their knowledge and creatively apply them in practice» [5]. The role of educational practice is especially growing at a time when the issues of environmental management and nature protection have become paramount. The ecological aspect of the practice is especially emphasized here. One of the tasks of the practice is to teach the ability to evaluate and recommend measures for the rational use of nature, in particular, one of the goals of economic and geographical practice is to in still skills of economic assessment of natural conditions, determine their impact on economic activity and assess opportunities for more rational use of natural conditions. and resources. Here, as we see, we are talking about a much wider range of environmental and practical tasks, which have long been posed in practical geography [1,2].

Of great importance in the formation of environmental culture in future teachers of geography are subject teaching practices, which are conducted in junior courses - the first and second. The purpose of these practices is to practically deepen the geographical preparation of students, acquaint them with the basic methods of field observations used in a particular field of science, with methods of processing these observations, keeping observation logs, compiling tables, plotting, writing reports, and inoculating the first skills of independent work in the field and skills of an integrated approach to the assessment of natural phenomena (ability to record, observe and analyze) [3,4].

Educational practice in geology is conducted with first-year students majoring in 014.07 Secondary education (Geography) in the second semester in the amount of 1 ECTS credit.

During the training practice in geology, students learn to solve certain practical problems and private scientific problems of ecological orientation.

Interns gain experience in generalizing their field observations. This gives the educational practice a creative character, brings elements of scientific research, which also allows students to choose the topics of scientific student projects, term papers and dissertations. Educational practice has a clear professional orientation, which is reflected in its content.

The main objectives of educational practice in geology in the first year are to consolidate and deepen knowledge about rocks, their composition, conditions of occurrence and formation processes, the connection with landforms; mastering practical skills of selection and documentation of samples of rocks, minerals, fossils, description of geological outcrops, mastering the methods of paleogeographic research.

At the same time, it is advisable to focus students' attention on the study of issues and problems of environmental content, such as:

1. A variety of types of human geological activities, among which this type of geological processes include not only the development of quarries, but also the plowing of lands, road construction, grazing,


2. Assessment of the scale of human geological activity, which is carried out when visiting mines, quarries, studying the performance of


3. Assessment of the impact of human economic activity on the quality of groundwater indicators, which are detected in the process of describing sources, water intakes, analysis of materials of enterprises and


4. Identification of environmental problems in the use of mineral resources, among which can be identified: insufficiently complete extraction of minerals, imperfect system of processing of raw materials, losses associated with its transportation, storage,


5. Familiarity with geological monuments of nature [6,8].

Thus, in the educational practice of geology such ecological-heuristic skills are formed as: the ability to detect the geological impact of man on the environment; ability to assess the scale of human geological activity; ability to assess the impact of human activities on the groundwater regime; ability to evaluate various aspects of mineral use.
